An NHS Trust at the centre of a major inquiry into how 10 children died in their care is being probed over the death of another baby.

The scandal-hit University Hospitals Bristol Trust will face fresh questions tomorrow when an inquest opens into the death of little Rohan Rhodes.

He died before he could have heart surgery to treat a duct that should have closed after being born 14 weeks early.

His family said he was put on a ­ventilator to help him breathe but one day they found a nurse had taken him off it.

He suffered a cardiac arrest and died the next day, aged just 30 weeks.

His devastated parents believe the nurse’s decision contributed to his death and they now plan to take legal action.

Yesterday Rohan’s mum Bronwyn, 34, said: “Our little boy was doing so well. The doctors said he wasn’t ready to come off the ventilator and he was going to stay on it until he had his operation.”

She added: “We just want answers into what happened to our baby and why he died.” Dad Alex, 37, said the tragedy had left the couple “shattered and bereft”.

Rohan died at St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol, part of the same trust facing an independent review into the deaths of up to 10 children following heart surgery at the city’s Children’s Hospital.

The probe was prompted following concerns by parents about the care their children received and will be led by Sir Ian Kennedy, who led the inquiry into the 1990s Bristol heart scandal when 35 babies died.

Rohan was born in Swansea and survived the first critical weeks, but he was transferred to Bristol’s specialist children’s centre for the operation.

Vet Bronwyn, of Narberth, West Wales, said: “When we arrived at St Michael’s his life wasn’t in danger.”

A spokeswoman for the Bristol trust said: “We would like to offer our condolences to the Rhodes family for the loss of their son, Rohan.

“The coroner will conduct a thorough inquiry and we are committed to working to provide the information she needs.”
